Gerald Genta ’ s 1972 ‘ luxury stainless steel ‘ concept was not an instant success . Brands , like IWC , took a few years to catch on . But the Ingeniuer he eventually designed for them remains in their range . And includes a refreshed version launched last April . That same month we introduced our own integrated bracelet watch : ‘ The Twelve ’. It too sports a 40mm case ( with a polished , brushed and sandblasted bezel .) It too will resist water to 100 meters . But ours is less than 10mm thick . And £ 9450 less to buy . Unsurprisingly it was an instant success . Now available in 36mm with new dial colours , it ’ s also even more accessible . Genius , eh ? Do your research .
